INT103 Human Development Across the Lifespan

Purpose

In this activity, you will be engaging with the main theories of human development.

It is essential to understand that there is no one correct way of framing and thinking about development, and there is great value in perceiving these studies through different lenses — even those you may disagree with.

This activity will help you achieve the following learning outcome:

• L03: Identify and discuss fundamental theories and stages of human development across the lifespan, including personality theories

Please allow 60 minutes to complete this activity

Task

Spend 300-350 words in total evaluating two or more theories, discussing what resonates with you or what you disagree with. For example, what is to be gained (and/or lost) by perceiving development through each lens? Is your own belief system grounded in aspects of more than one theory?

Post your findings into the forum below by pressing `Add New Discussion Topic` by the end of week 2.

Respond to another student`s post with your own considered and constructive thoughts in order to complete this task.
